Good morning. My name is Amanda, and I will be your conference facilitator. I would like to welcome everyone to General Cable Corporation's First Quarter 2010 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Thank you, General Cable, you may begin your conference.

Thank you, Amanda. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to General Cable's First Quarter 2010 Earnings Conference Call. I'm Mike Dickerson, Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations at General Cable. Joining me this morning are Greg Kenny, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Brian Robinson, our Chief Financial Officer; and Bob Siverd, our General Counsel.

Many of you have already seen a copy of our press release from last night. For those of you who have not, it is available on First Call and on our website at generalcable.com.

I want to call your attention to our Safe Harbor provision for forward-looking statements that can be found at the end of our press release. The Safe Harbor provision identifies risk factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the content of our forward-looking statements. Our current Form 10-K report and other periodic filings on file with the SEC provide further detail about the risk factors related to our business.
